Seattle to Brownsville. That had to be something of a culture shock.
Yes, Brownsville is/was 95% Hispanic with Spanish as the predominant language. Rural Arkansas(Yell County) was another jolt, then the Black community in North Little Rock and Little Rock, where I met Sidney Moncrief and later Nolan Richardson. When my Hispanic wife of 49.5 years passed away, I traveled to Asia, ending up with a new wife from the Philippines. Obviously, I'm intrigued by other cultures, the differences and similarities. I spend my time writing a daily column on local politics and watching YouTube vloggers traveling the world like Bald & Bankrupt, Sabbatical, Harold Baldr, etc.
